[Angrry.exe™]

One of the biggest changes to the Vista and 7 interface is the inability to add the Computer Description as a column to the network folder. Lots of organizations use it for inventory number, service tag, etc ...

In the image below you can see how Windows XP shows us the computers on the network.

column "Name" -> The name of the NetBIOS / DNS computer
the column "Comments" -> The "Computer Description" field found in the System -> Computer name

Here is the corresponding image from Vista / 7:

You can try anything ... you will still not be able to add the Computer Description column
